Few interesting items and even three of my own
Very cool, I have a collection I’m thinning currently but I have had thousands through my collection over the years.I'm a veteran wets haver at this point (since 2008 with a DE or a straight, since 1992 with brush and soap/cream). I hang out on The Shave Den and /r/Wicked_Edge.
I've had good luck with items I've gotten at West Coast Shaving, The Superior Shave, and Straight Razor Designs (SRD). Lynn at SRD has a series of videos about straight razor shaving and maintenance and is a Mason (with a prominently displayed ring).
Lol ain’t that the truth!My razor collection has stayed the same for the last few years:
DE:
1954 Gillette Super Speed (40's style-Z1)
1964 Gillette Adjustable (J1)
1979 Gillette Black Handled Super Speed (Z4)
Merkur Alu - Blue (Barrel Handled with HD-style head)
Merkur Futur
Merkur HD
VDH/Weishi TTO
West Coast Shaving 110B Open Comb - Midnight Collection
